India's First Women-Only Chef Competition Kicks Off
QuizDiva 2026 puts women chefs centre stage at IHM Chennai
India's first exclusive culinary competition for women chefs, QuizDiva 2026, took place on August 8, 2026, at IHM Chennai. Batch 1 and Batch 2 contestants competed on the floor, with the event backed by Anjali, SICA, and X Quiz It.
Women chefs in India have long been underrepresented in competitive culinary circuits dominated by institutional and television formats. A dedicated competition at a premier hotel management institute signals a deliberate shift.
No winner has been announced in available sources. Batch 1 and 2 are confirmed on the floor, results pending.
